Think Progress, a website operated by the liberal Center for American Progress, failed to vet a phony story which claimed that Minnesota U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann proposed “Americanization” labor camps for Central American unaccompanied children.

The only pieces of umblemished text left are the headline, the Jeff Spross byline, and that hilarious correction. It’s definitely a thoughtful and progressive post!
